Georgia 811 is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing damage to Georgia’s underground utilities and promoting public safety. It functions as a communication system linking member utilities with professional excavators and homeowners planning mechanized digging, such as excavation, tunneling, or demolition. The organization emphasizes education and notification services to reduce the risk of striking buried or overhead facilities, and it is based in Duluth, Georgia. Its work serves member utilities, excavators, and homeowners who plan digging projects, helping coordinate safety and notification. While small, non-mechanized digging isn’t required by Georgia law to be reported, the organization encourages reporting to safeguard personal and public safety. In 2021, Brian Gilliam was promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations.
